Spectrum Elite Information

Spectrum Elite was programmed by Torus and released by Firebird 1985. As with the other 8-bit versions, the graphics are wire-frame but thanks to the machine's larger memory, a greater number of ships are available compared to the BBC tape version, although not as many as the BBC disc version.In addition, there were a number of secret missions for the player to perform.

Due to the considerable popularity of the Sinclair Spectrum, a number of interesting variants of the game were unofficially produced, including a Russian version with major improvements to the computer-controlled ships' AI. These may be found at Ian Bell's Elite Page
